Ahead of Tokyo Game Show 2018, FromSoftware has released a new trailer for their upcoming action-adventure game
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The new trailer showcases the fast-paced action and brutal enemies you'll encounter in the game.
For anyone who has played
Bloodborne or
Dark Souls, the similarities in approach are definitely noticeable, although
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has a few features that set it apart from FromSoftware's previous third-person, action-adventure games. As you'll see in the trailer, the core combat in
Sekiro revolves around the sword, but you'll also be able to equip and switch between a variety of unique Prosthetic Tools used to take advantage of enemy weaknesses.
Additionally,
Sekiro makes use of a new feature called "Resurrection," a strategy that allows you to resurrect on the spot, even after death. A welcomed change from games like
Dark Souls which usually punish you for death, Resurrection adds a new layer of strategy as you can plan for a tactical retreat or deceive an enemy and go on the counter-offensive.
Set in the re-imagined world of late 1500s Sengoku Japan; a brutal, bloody period of constant life-and-death conflict, in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice you are the “one-armed wolf,” a disgraced and disfigured warrior rescued from the brink of death.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice launches March 22, 2019 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
